Chapter 414 She Hopes You All Get Beheaded
Fuxing didn't react and turned to look at the stars in the sky.
Little Dumpling couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, thinking that what he said... maybe Sister Fuxing didn't believe it, and maybe thought she was trying to please him on purpose.
She sat back down, propping up her chin in frustration, and after thinking for a while, she realized that she was indeed trying to please Sister Fuxing. After all, she needed Sister Fuxing's explanation, but more importantly, she really wanted to become Sister Fuxing's relative.
She always felt that Sister Fuxing was very lonely.
Little Dumpling secretly encouraged herself that one day, Sister Fuxing would know that she was sincere.
She raised her head, looked at the stars, and silently asked herself what she wanted to know.
"Xingxing, Xingxing, how are Daddy and the brothers doing tomorrow?"
Soon, she saw Zuo Sixian interrogating Bai Yunfeng and Bai Shian, and torturing Bai Shian in front of Bai Yunfeng.
"Ah!" She couldn't help but scream in fright.
Fuxing was obviously startled and made a soft "ah ah ah" sound, as if asking her what was wrong.
"Fourth brother, fourth brother is in danger." Little Dumpling said anxiously.
However, as soon as she said this, she realized something was wrong. Her second and third brothers had both told her not to mention what Xingxing told her to outsiders.
She pursed her lips sadly and had to explain, "It's nothing, I... I'm just too worried about Daddy and my brothers."
Fuxing seemed to struggle for a moment before he raised his hand, touched her little head, and soothed the little girl's emotions.
"Thank you, Sister Fuxing, I'm fine." Little Tuanzi was in no mood to ask anything else at this moment, and said in a panic, "Sister Fuxing, let's go back to sleep."
Fuxing nodded, stood up, took Li Suining's hand, and went back with the little guy.
Li Suining was thinking in her mind how she could stop Zuo Sixian from torturing her fourth brother tomorrow.
——
In the Censorate, Zuo Sixian received the news that Li Suining was left in the palace. He has been unable to sleep or eat and is burning with anger these days.
However, he was outside the palace, and the imperial edict had already been issued, and it was the will of the emperor's two distinguished guests, so it was useless for him to be angry.
He knew that he had to rely on his own ability to make Bai Yunfeng confess his guilt.
Early in the morning of that day, just after daybreak, he arrived at the Censorate and interrogated Bai Yunfeng and Bai Shi'an at the same time.
In the interrogation room, he was wearing official uniform and sitting behind a long table, while Bai Yunfeng and Bai Shi'an were wearing prison uniforms and kneeling in the middle of the floor.
"General Bai, Fourth Young Master Bai, long time no see." He said with a smile, "You both look well. It's obvious that you're enjoying a comfortable life in my Censorate."
Bai Yunfeng looked straight ahead, without any reaction to Zuo Sixian's words.
"If you have something to say, just say it. If you have to fart, just fart. Don't be sarcastic!" Bai Shi'an snorted, without any fear of Zuo Sixian in his eyes.
Zuo Sixian was not angry either, and smiled again, "Indeed, I have been lazy these days and have not examined your case. To be honest, I just can't bear it."
He walked around the long table and approached the two men. "You are all aware of the methods of the Censorate. My men are very ruthless in their trials of criminals. I really don't want to see General Bai or any of the Bai family brothers suffer such physical pain."
Bai Yunfeng remained as calm as a pine tree, and remained unmoved by the threats.
Bai Shian, who was standing next to him, was obviously full of youthful vigor. He was extremely disgusted with Zuo Sixian's behavior. "Stop pretending. If you want to use any kind of torture, just use it on me. In short, if you want me and my father to admit to something we didn't do, no way!"
“Haha…” Zuo Sixian sneered, “Fourth Master Bai, you are indeed a man of steel.”
He turned his gaze towards Bai Yunfeng, "General Bai, do you really have the heart to send such a good son to the gallows?"
Finally, Bai Yunfeng's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Zuo Sixian with a threatening look.
"General Bai, there's no need to look at me like that," Zuo Sixian sighed deeply. "I think you should understand that if I don't ask something, not only will my position be ruined, but I might even lose my head. So, I'm not afraid of anything."
"I'm not afraid either." Bai Shi'an touched Bai Yunfeng's arm, "Dad, I'm not afraid of torture. We must not give in."
Bai Yunfeng took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said three words, "Good boy!"
"I really don't understand. What are you doing?" Zuo Sixian crouched down and whispered in Bai Yunfeng's ear, "I told you, this is the Emperor's will. If he wants you dead, do you dare not die?"
"Do you think you can make a big splash by just gritting your teeth and denying it?"
Zuo Sixian gritted his teeth and said, "I told you that as long as you confess your guilt and fulfill the emperor's wish, the emperor will not make things difficult for the Bai family. As the head of the family, are you not willing to make such a sacrifice?"
Bai Yunfeng turned his head and said in a deep voice, "There's no need to say these words anymore. I don't believe them!"
"You..." Zuo Sixian was extremely angry.
"Okay, since you guys won't accept my toast, I'll drink the forfeit. Very good, then don't blame me for being rude."
Zuo Sixian snorted, sat back at the long table, slammed the table, and called the subordinate who was torturing him to come in.
"Someone come!"
"I'm here!"
"The Bai family father and son have refused to confess their crimes. It seems I must show you the power of the Censorate."
Zuo Sixian's gaze swept across Bai Yunfeng, and finally landed on Bai Shi'an, "Bring the Fourth Young Master Bai..."
"Master Zuo," Bai Yunfeng suddenly became anxious, "You also said that I am the main culprit. If you want to torture me, torture me."
Zuo Sixian sneered, "General Bai, you're joking. I advise you, if you truly care about your son, to confess your guilt immediately. Otherwise, not only Bai Shi'an, Bai Yu'an, You Zhu, but also Xiao Wu and the others who are still in the General's Mansion, and Li Suining who abandoned you all, none of them will be able to escape."
When Bai Shi'an heard Zuo Sixian mention Li Suining, he stood up excitedly.
"Stop talking nonsense here. My sister is in the East Palace. How dare you do anything to her?"
Zuo Sixian smiled and said, "You Bai family members are really funny. Even when disaster strikes, you still keep thinking about that ungrateful person in the palace. Let me tell you, after all, Li Suining is a member of our Zuo family. The blood flowing in her body is the Zuo family's blood, my father's blood. You are nothing more than a stepping stone for her."
"Now, you're all in trouble, and she's jumped to the East Palace. You're not naive enough to think that she'll still recognize you prisoners as relatives, right?"
"Hahaha..." Zuo Sixian laughed. "Let me tell you, Li Suining is living a life of luxury in the East Palace right now. She's completely forgotten about you. She might even wish you were all beheaded."
"What nonsense!" Bai Shian didn't believe a word of it.
Bai Yunfeng naturally didn't believe it either.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Zuo Sixian looked at his subordinates who were about to torture him, "Tie up the Fourth Young Master!"
